These were the absolute best pancakes I have ever had. I added a little bit of vanilla. This is the first pancake that I have ever made that I didn't need to add extra flour to make them thick enough. I subbed about half the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Even the first pancake turned out beautiful. This recipe is a keeper, thank you Mimi. I make up several batches of the dry ingredients and put in ziploc bags then just add the wet ingredients when we want pancakes.

WOW!!! I have not had good luck with pancakes(As far as my husband is concerned!) Well let me tell you, my husband said that these are THE BEST pancakes I have ever made! I doubled the recipe and the only thing I did was add a teaspoon of vanilla. These were light, fluffy and as other posters have said only need syrup. I will be replacing my old recipe with this one. Thanks so much for sharing yours Mimi! Note : For Dad's Kitchen thanks for the tip, 400 degrees was right on!

Fantastic pancakes! Everybody who has had these has remarked about how good they are. No need to butter these pancakes - perfect with just syrup and sausage. I substituted about a tablespoon of vanilla for the 2 tablespoons of melted butter and came up with a great variation. Nobody has gone away from these pancakes unsatisfied!

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
